Exploring Personhood examines the metaphysical underpinnings of
theories of human nature, personhood, and the self. The history of
western philosophy provides the framework for broaching critical
questions pertinent to these three topics. The book explores
philosophical anthropology on its most foundational level, with a
focus on the basic constituents of the unified self. The coverage
of the work is broad in scope, moving from the Pre-Socratics to
Postmodernism, critically assessing what transpired during the
intervening 2500 year period, but with special attentiveness to the
contributions of the Aristotelian/Thomistic tradition of inquiry.
While each chapter can stand on its own, they collectively reveal a
developing story that finds expression in diverse attempts to come
to terms with what it means to be human, and how we understand
ourselves as persons. This book is designed to meet the needs of a
wide range of readers, from beginners to more advanced students.
